The Dutch culture can be found throughout Holland, Michigan. We enjoyed Windmill Island Gardens where we went up in De Zwaan (the swan), America's only authentic working Dutch windmill. It was built in 1761 and is the last authentic windmill the Dutch government allowed to leave the Netherlands, arriving in the States in late 1964. Other interesting sights included watching wooden shoes being made, and seeing the only production facility in North America for the popular Dutch pottery, Delftware.
